(385) Impatience
After about three minutes, Constance heard the crying in the house stop, followed by the sound of the key spinning after being inserted into the lockhole, the door was pushed open, and Rosemary rushed out to level his arms.
"My good brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be indifferent to you, I just ...... It's so sad......"
Konstanz put his arms around his sister's slender waist and stroked her silver curls with his other hand:
"I know it's hard to accept, we all love Big Brother Victor and treat him as a brother, his departure is a surprise and a great loss to the country, cry, dear, it will be better to vent it."
Rosemary raised her head, two pairs of golden eyes facing each other:
"Brother...... Am I too selfish, just care about a person in the room wiping tears and playing a temper, and don't care about anything else, I just pushed Her Majesty the Mother Emperor hard, and she left in discouragement. β
"I see, I just ran into my mother, and she looked terrible, a physically and mentally exhausted living dead, her eyes wandering, and she didn't even notice me."
Princess Rosemary bowed her head in shame: "I was too rude to my mother just now...... She must have been quite disappointed in me. β
"Mother, she came to persuade you to marry Prince Solan again?
"Yes, this is the third time she has asked me, and her attitude is getting tougher and tougher every time, but...... How could I possibly agree to such a thing! My dear Victor is not cold, and I can't be ashamed of him! β
"Hey, forget it, maybe there will be other ways to resolve this diplomatic crisis besides political marriage, let's not talk about this sad matter."
"By the way, how is Edgar sister?"
"The situation is not good, my sister is very serious, some shell fragments in her body are too deep to be removed by surgery, plus blood loss, infection, closed fractures, and a slight concussion, she has not been able to recover yet."
Rosemary was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the carpet, "We're going to lose Edgar, aren't we?" β
Maxim nodded: There is that possibility, you have to be mentally prepared and ready for the worst at any time. The Royal Physician is not out of danger. β
"Let's go to the ward to see her! I'll go change my clothes. β
"Don't go, the royal doctor has already instructed that in order to keep the air in the ward fresh and prevent infection caused by contact, too many people are not allowed to accompany at present, Young Master William of the Ainfoot family has always been by her side, and she can definitely rest assured that he is there."
"That's good, William really loves her, and he will take care of it."
Rosemary sighed and laughed at herself:
"Sister, she became famous in the first battle, and now all major newspapers call her the Valkyrie on the battlefield, and I, a useless eldest sister, will only hide in the deep palace and wipe her tears, I really hope that it is me who was bombed by a cannonball, so that I can go to the court to reunite with Victor."
Konstanz gently patted his twin sister on the shoulder reproachfully:
"Rosemary, don't be unlucky! It's not your fault that Edgar is hurt.
The most important thing you should do now is to return to your normal life and rest, drink and eat well, let Her Majesty Mother Mother worry less, look at your haggard face, how distressing it is, good sister, for the sake of my twin brother, please, eat something! β
Constance walked over to the dining cart and lifted the silver lid, the delicate dishes were still hot thanks to the kerosene lamps under the cart.
"Look, I'm so envious. Her Majesty loves you so much that she has instructed the Royal Chef to make your favourite dishes, including your favourite pan-fried foie gras and garlic broccoli, melt-in-your-mouth crΓ¨me brΓ»lΓ©e and crispy puff pastry pie with red bean paste. β
Rosemary smelled the food, and his face remained stubbornly repulsive, but a "cooing" cry came out of his hungry belly, betraying her.
This indecent voice was obviously contrary to the noble lady's demeanor, and she blushed in embarrassment.
"Okay, brother...... I'll just eat some, you go back, I can take care of myself." β
The crown prince laughed: "That's right, remember to take a bath and comb after eating, look at your hair, greasy and tangled, and your clothes are full of snot and tears." β
In the evening, Constance returned to the Crown Prince's bedchamber for dinner, and he was not accustomed to eating in the palatial dining room, nor did he like to be surrounded by a large group of servants serving tea and water for himself, but was accustomed to eating alone in the study.
At this time, his good friend William Einfurt came to visit him.
Konstanz looked a little surprised:
"William? What are you doing here? β
William Einfurt was still wearing the Major's uniform, his hair was greasy and tangled, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he had obviously not slept well for a long time, and he walked up to the crown prince and said worriedly:
"Edgar's condition is very bad now, the royal doctor is now consulting her, preparing for surgery to remove some shell fragments next to the organs, His Majesty the Emperor is personally taking care of her, I will come out first."
"My sister's wound is infected again?"
"Yes, this time it's more serious, in addition to the infection, there is more worrying, a sharp metal fragment is stuck not far from her heart, if the operation fails and cannot be removed in time, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"This kind of difficult operation will require you to go to the Empire's top specialists, and if there is one doctor whose skill and prestige can surpass that of the Royal Physician, it is your mother, Dame Janine Winsted."
William shook his head:
"No, my mother is fighting the plague of dragons in Flanders, which has been sealed off by the army, and unless the epidemic is lifted and all the 350,000 citizens are safe, only then will the people in that city be allowed to come out."
"Hey...... It's going to be tough. β
"Constance, I saw the expressions of the royal doctors, they obviously didn't know what to do with this operation, because the body structure of the demigod race Rao is different from that of mortals, although they have a super active self-healing ability, they will also delay passive treatment.
Ay! I was so stupid that I should have stayed with Edgar in the fortress waiting for rescue, but I was so anxious that I would delay the treatment of her eyes and arms, so I ran out on my back in the face of artillery fire, only to cause her to suffer another heavy blow! That's when her warm blood soaked my back and ran down my cheeks! I was really on the verge of a breakdown! β
At this point, William Einfoot was extremely remorseful and blamed himself, he "snapped! With a loud slap, he slapped himself so hard that half of his face was swollen, leaving clear finger prints. The servants of the prince's palace were stunned.
Konstanz hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Don't blame yourself, William, you can't be blamed for this, let's think of other countermeasures......"
He glanced at the servants around him, and said into William's ear: "My research has made some progress, but it is inconvenient to show it in front of outsiders, let's go, come to my study and have a look." β
William looked a little annoyed: "When is it!" How can I have time to tinker with that scientific research? You're Edgar's own brother, aren't you in a hurry? β
Konstanz's tone was somewhat mysterious:
"You misunderstood me, good buddy, it's true that I'm a nerd, but I also have a clear priority, can I still love my own sister?
The results of our research may be of great help to Edgar. β
William immediately hugged each other:
"I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry, what are you waiting for? Take me inside! β
